Burning Chrome by William Gibson

This is easily one of my favorite books. This was my first time reading it, and I found that I had to take breaks to reflect, and often reread chapters before moving on. Very excellent work by Gibson. I can see the way his thoughts moved in the direction of Neuromancer towards the end and then led into that series.

Burning Chrome is an anthology of short science fiction stories, some of which are set in the same universe and some of which are not. One of the stories is set inside a future soviet space program. One is about The Edge which figures heavily in Count Zero. Yet another is set in cyberspace and has had a dramatic effect on the way I imagine cyberspace and cyberpunk more broadly.

Anyone who likes science fiction should read this book. Anyone who loves cyberpunk MUST read this book. 10/10
